Strange claims about age of Sindh culture and Indus Valley civilization[edit]

In addition to the concern noted above by Andante1980, I would like to draw attention to this very strange sentence:

Therefore, the first definition of the Sindhi culture emanates from that over 7000 years old Indus Valley Civilization. This is the pre-Aryan period, about 3,000 years B.C., when...

This is, if not inconsistent, very confusing, since a 7000 year old civilation should have begun around 5000 BC, not 3000 BC.

The article also says:

Sindhi culture is one of the oldest known, predating even those of Egypt, Mesopotamia and China.

According to the article on the Indus Valley civilization, the IVC was mature around 2600 BC, with its earliest appearance around 5500 BC. But, according to the article on Ancient Egypt, this does not predate Egyptian civilization, which also appeared around 5500 and was mature by 3150 BC. According to the article on History of Mesopotamia, the first cities in Mesopotamia were built around 5300 BC, when the IVC was just getting started. This list of Bronze Age cities mentions several important cities (Uruk, Kish, Memphis) that predate Mohenjo-Daro.

So the statement quoted above requires clarification at least, if it isn't simply wrong.

I agree with editor Andante1980 that the article reads as though it were written by someone with an emotional attachment to the subject, and needs to be cleaned up. —Dominus (talk) 18:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
